</div>Hi Viktor,<br>
<br>
Do you try to run Fluidsynth directly from Rosegarden ? (you can find it<br>
in "synth plugin" on the left pannel)<br>
You can have several runs of it, one for each MIDI track, each one can<br>
load his sound as you like.<br>
On my old P4 + 1GbRAM can run 10 tracks with no problem (don't have test<br>
more cause don't need yet)<br>

</div>Don't know ! But think that Fluid is just a GUI for Q (not sure of that)<br>

</div>I don't use yet... Maybe a good idea ? If you do so, could you please<br>
let me know ?<br>

</div>Well, do you think a bank including 127 differents sounds and a complete<br>
drumset in less 100M can compete<br>
with another one including only 1 instrument in more 1G ?? ;o))<br>
